I think like others have said, you need to be in the mood for this. Today I’m feeling very unwell and this was the perfect, stupid, cameo movie. You get to be on the sofa with a blanket and drift in and out without needing to hold on to the story. Yaya ding dong will be stuck in my head and I certainly wouldn’t give it a second watch.

Trust me, I'm more surprised than you could ever be about this review. I'm not a Will Ferrell fan (usually 2nd least fav actor) and a lot in this movie is so silly. Not normally my humour. But I think this was the perfect storm 🤷🏽♀️ 🌊 I was definitely just in the right mood for it and weirdly really enjoyed myself. (Maybe I'm watching too much American TV..) The scenery of Iceland 😍 yes please. Stunner. Opening scene was especially fantastically beautiful, cinematography-wise too. Also the music was actually really good! Also Jaja Ding Dong is a banger A lot of scenes/moments that were purposely stupid or ridiculous. I am curious how good their accents really were. But I enjoyed what this brought to my day and the final song (Husavik) was 😘👌🏼

It’s hilarious and if you’re European I think you will recognize that it’s actually a really respectful take on one of the most idiotic events in the world. Loved this movie and the songs are great. Yaya ding dong

It was definitely funny. I am not sure if USA audiences will get the joke, since most probably don't know it's a real thing. I think they did a good job and if you are familiar with the contest you will find it funny.

Nice comedy. Some really good songs and few scenes where you will laugh, but a part of that nothing extraordinary. Good movie for a chill evening.

Now it’s not the best film in the world, but there are points in it that do make you chuckle. The idea is okay at best and it does feel like it drags a little, but ideal for having on in the background

Både plat og skøn. Will Ferrell er god, musikken er underligt fængende. Startede lidt trægt, men blev bedre og bedre hen mod slutningen.

It’s very silly and a bit too long! Honestly not sure Will Ferrell has really made any good movies the last 5 years! It just feels like he has 1 way to be funny and he’s done that 10 times now and he’s not coming up with anything new! I would have given it a 5 but then I’ll add 1 point for doing a great job of capturing the absurdity of Eurovision Song Contest and the fun they are making of small town societies! But that’s it 🤷♂️
